#week12 (broken ankle?)

Hi everyone,

this week didn't start in a really good way. On Sunday night, I twisted my ankle steppind too hard on the first step of the stairs. 

For this reason, on Monday my host mum brought me to the doctor. This was the first time in my entire life that I hurt myself that much, so I was super scared. The reason why I was scared was because I didn't want to ruin a moth, or whatever it would have taken, of my year here in America. This year is going really fast, so my biggest concern was taking time away from things that I could have done, if I hadn't broken my ankle or if I hadn't had to wear a boot or a cast. The first thing that I told the doctor when I saw him was, "I don't wanna a cast or boot", and he laughed. Luckily, my ankle was only sprained and not broken! You guys cannot even imagine how happy I was, when the doctor said "it's just sprained, you don't need anything".😄

On Tuesday, I stayed home because I couldn't really walk yet, but at 7 pm I went to my host sister's basketball game. That day I was mad with myself because I didn't do anything and I couldn't really do anything, so I was bored and mad.

Finally, on Wednesday, I went back to school because I didn't want to stay at home and do nothing all day. That day, I actually felt better, even though my ankle still hurt, I didn't care.

On Thursday, my ankle started feeling better, but I still couldn't really move it lol.

On Friday, I went to Orange leaf right after school with two of my friends and we stayed there for a while. I love hanging out with my friends after school and just talk for hours lol.

At around 7 pm, my host dad picked me up and we went to my host sister's concert at school. Then, we went out to eat Mexican food. That was my first time eating Mexican food, and I really enjoyed it!

#day84-85 (first weekend of November)

Hi everyone,

it's been a while since I haven't written on my blog, so now that I'm on winter break, I'm gonna try to catch up.

On the first Saturday of November, I went to school at 10 am for about an hour with my host family. because there was a sort of Christmas market. It was super cute!

At 11 am I walked over the swimming pool and I had the "mistery diner" with my swimming team. Basically, every food that the parents made and the silver that they brought was an event in the swimming meets, so all the girls on the team made a list with all the events in the order that they wanted. There were three courses and you may have gotten ice cream with smashed potatoes and with only a knife to eat everything. That was super fun!!😂

Around 12:30 my host dad picked me up and we went to an ISU basketball game.

When the game was over, we went to my host sister's basketball and I met there with one of my friend. It was a long, but good day!

On Sunday, my host family and I went to church in the morning, and one of my friend came over at night. We hadn't seen each other in a while, so we talked, watched a movie, talked, ate, and talked.😂 She is super nice!!

#week11 (mac&cheese + volleyball game)

Hi everyone,

the 11th week of my year was the first week when I didn't have swimming practice right after school. It was so weird, but super relaxing!

On Monday, I started studying the bones of the body in my anatomy class, and it's kinda hard, but I still really like that class.

After school, even though practice was over for the JV team, I went to the swimming pool and we talked about the meet that we had on Saturday.

On Tuesday, my host family and I went to Monical's for dinner where we had the typical thin American pizza. Then, we went to ISU to watch a basketball game.

On Wednesday, it was Halloween, but my friends and I didn't really organize something to do. I was kinda sad because I thought that Halloween was a really big thing, but it's not really because the next day we had school, so there wasn't a lot of things that we could have done. However, after school, I went to noodle & company with a friend of mine and I had my first mac&cheese. Sorry Italy, but it wasn't actually that bad, I kinda like it😅

At 7 pm, I went to school with my friends because there was a very important volleyball game, and we won!

On Thursday, I went to church with my host family because it was November 1st.

On Friday, after school, I went to the speech club to take some pictures for my yearbook class and then I went to the swimming pool to say hi to my friends that are in the varsity team. I miss so much staying and talking with them every day!💗

Around 8, I went with some of my friends to another volleyball game where our school was playing and it was super intense! At the end our team scored a point, then the other team scored a point, and they kept going like this all the time! The game's theme was Hawaiian.

After the game, I went to Steak 'n Shake with 3 exchange students. It was so fun!
